Fragrance
Fragrances are the ingredients in your skincare that either neutralize bad scents or are used to make a product smell good. Fragrances come in 3 forms: synthetic, natural, or essential oils.
EU Allergen
A list of the most-known allergic substances from the European Union's Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009.
May cause Irritation
These ingredients are considered potential irritants, meaning they can cause irritation - but not necessarily for everyone. Everyone’s skin is different, so what bothers one person’s skin may be completely fine for someone else.
Can worsen Rosacea
These ingredients are known to be potential triggers for rosacea, but not everyone with rosacea will react the same way. Because rosacea-prone skin can be especially reactive, it’s best to approach new products with caution. Please consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.
Can worsen Eczema
These are common ingredients that may trigger eczema flare-ups, but everyone’s skin is different. If you have eczema or suspect you might, it’s important to check with a medical professional for the best care and product guidance.
Explained

This ingredient has a scent that is floral, spicy tropical, and citrus-like.
